The Cribs - City of Bugs lyrics

rate me

It came to me like a voice from above

Or like a message in praise of platonic love

And if you stand in the booth

Then you don't have to sit with a stranger

A perfumed gust drifts to my core

I give you one last look

Through a cross-hatched door

But I'm messed up baby

Like the Berlin Wall

Tonight

It came to me like a voice from above

Or like a message in praise of platonic love

But I'm messed up baby

Like the Berlin Wall

Tonight

You feel the rape in the city of bugs

Fill the hole with glass

Vessels burst after love

But don't go too long without letting them know

That you're there

A perfumed gust drifts to my core

I give it one last look

It was a cross-hatched door

But I'm messed up baby

Like the Berlin Wall

Tonight

You came into reach

Like the Serpent and Peach

Came to me in the dream

That contractions set free

But it's never too late to admit to me

That you're worried

Never a choice

Don't remember your voice

I was born out of glass

I'll return there at last

In a shattering climax

The wall falls

It came to me like a voice from above

Or like a message in praise of platonic love

And if you stand in the booth

Then you don't have to sit with a stranger

You feel the rape in the city of bugs

Fill the hole with glass

Vessels burst after love

But don't go too long without letting them know

That you're there

Never a choice

Don't remember your voice

I was born out of glass

I'll return there at last

In a shattering climax

For left out children to carry

A world without sin is a laughable thing

So go out on a limb

Take a stone for a swim

In a shatterin climax

The wall falls
